Brusho is a highly pigmented water-colour crystalline powder, which contains pigment and binders specifically formulated to enhance performance and visibility of each colour. The watercolour crystals are stored in small drums in various sizes, the most common being 15g, 1.5-inch tubs. You will also notice when you look at Brusho pigment up close that Brusho pigments are actually made up of many colors to create secondary and tertiary colors.I used alizarin crimson “neat” on the edges for strong contrast — and to give the eye a three-dimensional effect.

Made by ColourCraft in the UK, Brusho painting uses a type of paint called ‘Crystal Colour’ (English spelling) that uses water-soluble pigment powders. When you first get your brush pigment powders, DO NOT take the lids off the powders! This is a very concentrated pigment that is hard to control once you take the lid off. The granules are small so after creating with Brushos sometimes I find pigment in my studio space weeks later. Yes, you can use Brusho on fabric. Simply mix the paint with a fabric medium and then apply it to your fabric.
